Texts with bad words would either not be sent or would have the words redacted.

I'm confused. What does the mom do, get this long list of dirty words from Apple, and select which ones are too f%$#ing offensive? Actually, Apple says its version can filter the filth based on a kid's grade level. (Who decides what's okay in 8th grade but not 6th grade? And as one blogger pointed out, innocuous words like bang or screw would still probably pass the censor.)

There's also a technology that won't deliver the message if it has text speak or bad spelling and grammar in it. FML. J/K.

One thing Apple's patent cannot filter, though, is the sending or receiving of picture messages. Doh—! That's kind of a big one.

Still, it's an interesting idea. What if you suspected your husband was having an affair and you blocked him from sexting? Haha.
